  • Cuban Antifascism and the Spanish Civil War: Transnational Activism, Networks, and Solidarity in the 1930S
    Cuban Antifascism and the Spanish Civil War: Transnational Activism, Networks, and Solidarity in the 1930s Ariel Mae Lambe Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Ariel Mae Lambe All rights reserved ABSTRACT Cuban Antifascism and the Spanish Civil War: Transnational Activism, Networks, and Solidarity in the 1930s Ariel Mae Lambe This dissertation shows that during the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939) diverse Cubans organized to support the Spanish Second Republic, overcoming differences to coalesce around a movement they defined as antifascism. Hundreds of Cuban volunteers—more than from any other Latin American country—traveled to Spain to fight for the Republic in both the International Brigades and the regular Republican forces, to provide medical care, and to serve in other support roles; children, women, and men back home worked together to raise substantial monetary and material aid for Spanish children during the war; and longstanding groups on the island including black associations, Freemasons, anarchists, and the Communist Party leveraged organizational and publishing resources to raise awareness, garner support, fund, and otherwise assist the cause. The dissertation studies Cuban antifascist individuals, campaigns, organizations, and networks operating transnationally to help the Spanish Republic, contextualizing these efforts in Cuba’s internal struggles of the 1930s. It argues that both transnational solidarity and domestic concerns defined Cuban antifascism. First, Cubans confronting crises of democracy at home and in Spain believed fascism threatened them directly. Citing examples in Ethiopia, China, Europe, and Latin America, Cuban antifascists—like many others—feared a worldwide menace posed by fascism’s spread.

    Title: Comparison of Spanish Colonization—Latin America and the Philippines Teacher: Anne Sharkey, Huntley High School Summary: This lesson took part as a comparison of the different aspects of the Spanish maritime empires with a comparison of Spanish colonization of Mexico & Cuba to that of the Philippines. The lessons in this unit begin with a basic understanding of each land based empire of the time period 1450-1750 (Russia, Ottomans, China) and then with a movement to the maritime transoceanic empires (Spain, Portugal, France, Britain). This lesson will come after the students already have been introduced to the Spanish colonial empire and the Spanish trade systems through the Atlantic and Pacific. Through this lesson the students will gain an understanding of Spanish systems of colonial rule and control of the peoples and the territories. The evaluation of causes of actions of the Spanish, reactions to native populations, and consequences of Spanish involvement will be discussed with the direct correlation between the social systems and structures created, the influence of the Christian missionaries, the rebellions and conflicts with native populations between the two locations in the Latin American Spanish colonies and the Philippines. Level: High School Content Area: AP World History, World History, Global Studies Duration: Lesson Objectives: Students will be able to: Compare the economic, political, social, and cultural structures of the Spanish involvement in Latin America with the Spanish involvement with the Philippines Compare the effects of mercantilism on Latin America and the Philippines Evaluate the role of the encomienda and hacienda system on both regions Evaluate the influence of the silver trade on the economies of both regions Analyze the creation of a colonial society through the development of social classes—Peninsulares, creoles, mestizos, mulattos, etc.

  • USS Maine, 1898
    USS Maine, 1898 Antonio BARRO ORDOVÁS (RR) Please remain. You furnish the pictures and i’ll furnish the war. William Randolph Hearst a Frederic Remington (enero 1897). Antecedentes OS problemas coloniales en Cuba comenzaron en 1868 con la Guerra de los Diez Años, que finalizó en 1878 con la Paz de Zanjón. Desgra- ciadamente, entre 1879 y 1880, hubo otro levan- tamiento de los independentistas cubanos, que es lo que se conoce como la Guerra Chiquita. Estas dos contiendas —Diez Años y Chiquita— impul- saron el nacionalismo cubano, a la vez que favo- recieron la penetración económica de Estados Unidos en la isla. A partir de 1878 se empezaron a adoptar medidas para lograr la normalización de las relaciones entre la metrópoli y su colonia, como la abolición de la esclavitud, el fomento de la inmigración española (especialmente de gallegos), la asimilación de Cuba a España (provincia espa- ñola con representación parlamentaria) y la aparición de partidos políticos. No obstante, el gobierno no concedió ningún tipo de autonomía ni introdujo refor- mas políticas importantes. En febrero de 1895 se produjo una nueva sublevación independentista en la isla promovida por el Partido Revolucionario Cubano, fundado por José Martí. España envió al general Martínez Campos, pero su actuación no dio el resultado esperado, por lo que en febrero de 1896 fue relevado por el también general Valeriano Weyler. El nuevo capitán general era un líder enérgico que dividió la isla en compartimentos fortificados llamados trochas, mientras concentraba a la población rural en zonas controladas por militares españoles. Estas medidas lograron prácticamente sofocar la insurrección, aunque la «prensa amarilla» norteamericana empezó a llamar al general «Weyler, the butcher».

Portier This dissertation - a postcolonial re-examination of Bartolomé de las Casas, the 16th century Spanish priest often called “The Protector of the Indians” - is a conversation between three primary components: a biography of Las Casas, an interdisciplinary history of the conquest of the Americas and early Latin America, and an analysis of the Spanish debate over the morality of Spanish colonialism. The work adds two new theses to the scholarship of Las Casas: a reassessment of the process of Spanish expansion and the nature of Las Casas’s opposition to it. The first thesis challenges the dominant paradigm of 16th century Spanish colonialism, which tends to explain conquest as the result of perceived religious and racial difference; that is, Spanish conquistadors turned to military force as a means of imposing Spanish civilization and Christianity on heathen Indians.

Instituto Universitario General Gutiérrez Mellado-UNED, España. E-mail: [email protected] Resumen. En el último tercio del siglo XIX, tres guerras de emancipación, culminadas con otra librada entre España y Estados Unidos, condujeron a la independencia de la isla de Cuba. A ellas se sumó la que tuvo como escenario la isla de Luzón, en Filipinas, derivando todo ello en la pérdida de los restos del inmenso imperio ultramarino de la Monarquía hispánica. De aquellas contiendas, este artículo contemplará únicamente los combates y operaciones terrestres, prestando especial atención a los que tuvieron lugar en ambos escenarios entre 1895 y 1898, convenientemente enmarcados en su contexto político, militar y operativo. Palabras clave: España; Cuba; Filipinas; Estados Unidos; Desastre de 1898; Ejército. Abstract. In the last third of 19th century, three wars of emancipation, which ended with another one between Spain and the United States, led to the independence of Cuba. In 1896 the situation became more critical because of Philippine natives’ insurrection. The adverse conclusion of all these conflicts caused the total loss of the rests of the once outstanding 1 Recibido: 06/04/2013 Aceptado: 26/05/2013 Publicado: 15/06/2013 RUHM 3/ Vol 2/ 2013© ISSN: 2254-2111 34 Guerra en Cuba y Filipinas… (Págs 34-57) Fernando Puell de la Villa Spanish Empire.

  • A Chronology of Spanish Florida 1513 to 1821
    Conquistadores in the Land of Flowers: A Chronology of Spanish Florida 1513 to 1821 Compiled by Paul Eugen Camp Special Collections Department University of South Florida Library Tampa 2001 The First Spanish Period, 1513-1763 To a late sixteenth century Spaniard, “Florida” was a vast land stretching as far north as Chesapeake Bay and west to a point beyond the Mississippi. In the first half of the 1500's, Spain launched a series of expeditions to explore and colonize Florida. Although these expeditions brought back geographic knowledge, they were costly in blood and treasure, and failed to achieve a permanent Spanish settlement. The establishment of St. Augustine in 1565 marked the true beginning of Spain’s Florida colony. The remainder of the century saw the establishment of further settlements and the beginning of the mission system. During the seventeenth century, Spanish Florida prospered moderately, with an extensive system of Franciscan missions stretching from northern Georgia to the Florida panhandle, and large cattle ranchos operating in the Tallahassee and Alachua areas. At the beginning of the eighteenth century, war with England destroyed the missions and ranchos, and with them any hope of Florida becoming more than an isolated military frontier. By the time Spain turned Florida over to the British in 1763, Spanish control was limited to little more than St. Augustine, Pensacola and a few other outposts. 1510 Unrecorded Spanish expeditions searching for indian slaves probably reached the Florida coast as early as 1510, possibly even earlier. In 1565, the Spanish Council of the Indies claimed that Spanish ships had “gone to occupy” Florida ever since 1510.
